Pokdarwis Steinkollen is one of the organizations that is actively involved in community empowerment based on the development of tourism in the old town of Teluk Bayur. Pokdarwis Stenkollen has been active since 2021 under the name Pokdarwis Kalibata. The development of Pokdarwis is followed by group dynamics and problems which resulted in the name change to Pokdarwis Stenkollen. The purpose of this study was to analyze the dynamics of community empowerment groups based on tourism development through aspects of group communication, conflict within the group, group cohesion, strength and problem solving in the group.
